Chapter 227 The First Monk in Journey to the West

No one expected that when Zhen Zhener stood in front of the store and shouted, the people on this commercial street would immediately become as lively as if they were celebrating the New Year.

People from the major shops along the street washed pots, propped up sheds, swept snow, and expanded stalls.

Xue Sanniang and her people hurriedly cleared away the snow in the open space in front of the shop and laid out tables, chairs, fruits and snacks.

The second floors of shops along the street were all hurriedly cleaned, teapots and dishes were placed, hot water was boiled, and tea and fruit snacks were prepared.

The chefs of various stores who had rested for a few days were beaten out of Wenrouxiang by the owner.

Some people looked at the gong and ran to the noisy market to shout.

Those who have quick thoughts are not as good as those who have nimble legs and feet and run quickly.

In an instant, the Pingshu Square was already occupied by powerful people with money.

The edges of the square were crowded with Chang'an scholars, young ladies, and people from all walks of life.

The roaring waves have blocked this unusually wide street.

When the officials of Jingzhao Prefecture saw someone daring to cause trouble and block the commercial road, they wielded burning sticks and started fighting from the outside.

Unexpectedly, many people knocked them down and were crushed under the crowd like a mountain tower.

After finally crawling out of the gap, several government officials fled shouting for their fathers and mothers.

Some people looked at their backs and spat, saying angrily: "Want to compete with me for a seat? No way!"

The excitement in this area has just ended, and the excitement in that area has started again.

Suddenly, a barefooted man walked into the place where all the girls were gathering.

This big man seemed stupid, with squinting eyes and drooling, but he was very skillful and skillfully swam beneath the crowds of people.

Thanks to a widow who couldn't stand the humiliation and exposed his scheme, all the little girls started fighting with fists and kicks, making the big man really roll his eyes stupidly.

Then, like a lost dog, he was dragged out by his family's servants and thrown into a heap of beggars.

The beggars were so happy to have an extra playmate that they hurriedly dragged them into the high snowdrifts...

After waiting for a short time, Ni Tu finally stepped onto the high platform with strong and light steps.

Everyone noticed that Zhen Zhener and his party then went up to the high platform. One of them held something like a morning glory in his arms, and then put it on both sides of the high platform before going down.

Someone else put a long dog bone-like object on Ni Tu's long table and left.

Ni Tu pulled the thing forward and coughed slightly, and a loud sound came from those speakers.

People who were frightened by the loud noise quickly covered their ears.

Cheng Yaojin, who was standing on the second floor opposite, widened his eyes and shouted with a smile: "What a good thing, this works in the army! It also works in His Majesty's palace!"

Just as he finished speaking, he remembered that Li Zhi was sitting behind him. He turned around sheepishly and saw that Li Zhi nodded cheerfully, expressing his agreement with Cheng Yaojin's point of view.

For a long time, Li Zhi always felt that his throat was uncomfortable. In such a large hall, he had to yell every time he spoke. If he didn't yell, he would have no temperament, and the ministers standing at the door of the hall could not hear clearly.

Afterwards, they would also ask the minister standing at the front for narration.

It's too troublesome, and the dragon's power has weakened too much.

With this thing, you can have a huge momentum.

Ni Tu asked Zhen Zhen'er to adjust the button and lower the sound to a level that was comfortable for the people present.

Subsequently, Ni Tu officially opened the ceremony——

"The general marched south with great courage, with a sword of wild goose feathers in the autumn water across his waist. The wind blew the drums, the mountains and rivers moved, and the lightning flags were high in the sun and the moon. There are unicorns in the sky, how can the ants in the holes escape. On the day when peace awaits the return of the imperial edict, I and Mr.

Take off your shirt—pop!”

As soon as the opening poem came out, Xingmu slapped it on the slate, and the people at the scene suddenly became excited:

"Okay! One more!"

"One more!"

The people in the audience were all laughing and joking, and they were very lively, and they all asked Ni Tu to write some more closing poems.

"Not coming! Not coming!" Ni Tu stopped the atmosphere in time and said, "The opening poems have to be read out one by one. When will it be said? Everyone is here to listen to Ni Tu's storytelling. When it comes to '

With the word "Pingshu", someone must have asked, what exactly is "Pingshu"? Pingshu is the evaluation of affairs. I will tell you a story, in which right and wrong are right and wrong, and justice and fairness are included."

"I am talking about this for no other reason than to persuade people to do good and uphold morality and etiquette. In my last letter, I said that the number one heroine is a good woman, which caused many people to scold me for several days..."

The people at the scene burst into laughter.

"Today, let's tell a lighter story. It's not easy to say it's easy, and it's not sad to say it's sad. Because this story may happen to you and me, so everyone must listen carefully. The name of this story

It’s called Treasure Hunt in Persia!”

"The story happened in the second year of Yuanxi in the previous dynasty. Fa Xianxian, the first monk from the Central Plains to arrive in Tianzhu, passed away. There was a poor scholar in the Lu State named Zhong Haiqian. Before telling his story, it is necessary to mention

It is said that the Dharma Appearance traveled west to Tianzhu to obtain the true scriptures. It is said that the Dharma Appearance was Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of the Tathagata Buddha. He was demoted to the lower world by the Tathagata Buddha because he despised the Buddha's Dharma. Under the guidance of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, he was enshrined by the emperor of the dynasty.

According to the decree, he traveled thousands of miles to the West to obtain the true scriptures. On the way, he received three disciples: Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing. After going through eighty-one difficulties, he finally obtained the true scriptures and returned to the Tang Dynasty. He achieved enlightenment and was granted the title of Tathagata Buddha.

'Zhan Tan Merit Buddha'."

Ni Tu went into seclusion for three days just for this reason.

Tang Monk? Xuanzang? He is still running around in the desert. How can we just flaunt him?

Ni Tu then replaced Faxian with Xuanzang and wrote his own Faxian version of Journey to the West.

The reason why Ni Tu mentioned Fa Xian was to make up for the fact that the world had long buried this man of immeasurable merit.

"There is no road in the world, but when there are more people walking, it becomes a road." But for the unknown world that the world knows nothing about, Faxian actually harbored faith. At the age of sixty, he walked to Tianzhu and obtained the true truth.

After returning from the discipline, this kind of spirit should be admired by the people of the Tang Dynasty.

With this kind of energy that refuses to admit defeat and the intrusion that is not afraid of death, how can the territory of the Tang Dynasty be willing to be divided? The blood of the people of the Tang Dynasty should be filled into the universe and heaven and earth, and they can do anything.

Such opening remarks immediately captured everyone's hearts and souls.

"Faxian's surname is Gong. He was born in Pingyang County. In his early years, he witnessed the mutual replacement of the forces of Later Zhao, Ran Wei, Qian Yan and Qin Qin. He had three brothers, all of whom died in childhood. His mother-in-law was worried that he would also die in infancy.

When he was only about three years old, he was educated as a novice monk."

…

"In the third year of Long'an in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Faxian has spent more than sixty years in the Buddhist world. More than sixty years of experience have made Faxian deeply feel that the translation of Buddhist scriptures cannot keep up with the needs of the great development of Buddhism. Especially because of the precepts classics

The lack of it has made it impossible for the majority of Buddhists to follow it, causing the upper-class monks to indulge in extravagant desires and commit all kinds of evil. In order to safeguard the truth of Buddhism and correct the shortcomings of the times, Faxian, who is nearly seventy years old, resolutely decided to go west to Tianzhu to seek precepts."
